Surry Hills gets a groundbreaking new Japanese with an Italian twist. Could Ito be the next 2024 Chef’s Hat?

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Crown Street, restaurateur Ibby Moubadder has wielded his magic wand to utterly transform the once-familiar Cuckoo Callay eatery into a restaurant for Japanese cuisine aficionados and thrill-seekers. I am sitting at a window seat overlooking the Christmas tree in the small park below, putting a forkful of eggplant into...

The number one restaurant* in Surry Hills right now: Shaffa Middle Eastern

The number one restaurant* in Surry Hills right now: Shaffa Middle Eastern

“It’s meant to be in some kind of alley?” I say. I’ve seen the photos online, and they make the venue look more spacious than alley dining usually affords, but what do I know? The street is dark and moody; it’s quieter here than in the more pedestrian-ed part of Surry Hills, and we like...

With a new Head Chef, it’s time to revisit Foreign Return in Surry Hills.

The new Head Chef Tanvi Goswami, who is so credentialed that  if she had all her qualifications on a wall it’d need reinforcing, is now leading the upscale Indian cuisine revolution at Foreign Return.  The Surry Hills location should be enough of an indication that this is not your just down-the-road-local Indian restaurant.

Forrester’s Returns! Spritz, Latino bites and good times

Forrester’s Returns! Spritz, Latino bites and good times

Forrester’s Pub on the corner of Riley Street in Surry Hills has been a much loved watering hole for almost 100 years, it’s seen different owners, changes of prime ministers, generations of friends and family along with periods of being laid ‘fallow’ to rest.

It took hospitality favourites, Applejack to rescue this local gem and bring it back to life. A budget of $1.5m doesn’t get you much these days but the renovation its both sensitive to its history and of this era, reflecting a new, more feminine, organic and lighter approach to interior design.
